Intrepid kernel 2.6.27-6 no supported image sensor dected for SN9C105 (045e, 00f7)

really hope this gets fixed.

I can confirm that my webcam no longer works in Intrepid. It did work in Hardy, using kernel module sn9c102. I can supply more info if needed. The webcam is an Ezonics EZ-368. I believe this is the same (or related) issue.

Same problem, with same Webcam (Microsoft VX-1000).

Mee too. Same problem, with same Webcam (Microsoft VX-1000). :-(
Working (bad) in Hardy, now totally out...

I have the same problem. Under Hardy the VX1000 worked not that good as logitech cams (I had a very bad image quality) but now the support for this sensor seems totaly broken :(

Does anyone know if this has to do with gspca? I'm not very knowledgeable about these things, but as I recall with the new kernel, didn't a lot of webcam support switch to gspca. I'm showing that module loaded in Hardy but not in Intrepid. when I try "sudo modprobe gspca" i get "FATAL: Module gspca not found."

Is there something else I can try?

And to reiterate, my webcam works in Hardy (when gspca loads automatically) but not in Intrepid, where gspca does not load.

Me too, I had great expectations upgrading to 8.10, but it seems that this webcam in unusable!

I've got the same problem with the Microsoft VX-3000. Worked perfectly on Hardy. What's going on here?

Luckily, as I did an upgrade from Hardy, I still have the old kernel (2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP) installed as a fall-back option. Camera works as before with this kernel.
The difference is that it's loading the 2.6.24-21-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca.ko which no longer exists in the Interpids kernel package. No module in 2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca/ can handle my camera (045e:00f5) so the sn9c102 module is loaded which obviously doesn't work. I tried blacklisting that module but then no module is loaded.

I knew I should've kept the old kernel for a little bit longer... but webcam I don't use often. I understand there were some big changes in webcam handling between 2.6.24 and 2.6.27, am I right?

Same problem with vx 3000 after upgrading to intrepid ibex. in hardy the webcam worked.
i hope this bug will fixed as soon as possible :)

Same problem here please fix this bug soon!

I've tryed to compile the module........this is the log...

same here!
vx1000 + intrepid ibex = bleah!
the LED on my cam is always on but no /dev/video0

also my vx 3000 has the led always on but no /dev/video0
i see that the bug is not assigned :(

Same problem with Microsoft VX-1000. Hope there is soon a fix.

looks like a possible answer. Not brave enough to try it.

As pointed out in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293259

This appears to be a kernel bug (patch available):
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11920

Also, I've been wondering if this bug is a dupe of 260918. My thought is no, since it appears to kernel/hardware and not specifically gspca/application related.

Why did you close this bug Jonathan? Has an updated kernel been added to ubuntu's repositories?

My mistake, didn't read the header properly.

Trying to fix my camera.

Recompiled and installed gspca - when i plug the camera in now i get the following appear in the syslog and the camera appears as /dev/video0 but i still cant use it.

As the system booted:

If i try to view the camera from vlc as either a V4L or a V4L2 device the light comes on and i either get a messed up cube of colour or no image at all.

Any ideas?

Sorry for placing trivial questions (maybe trivial for others, not for me), but what exactly is the solution? Should I recompile the kernel and remove the sn9c102 driver?

Confirmed on 64-bit Hardy with 2.6.27-6 kernel.

I've got same problem with Intrepid and Microsoft vx1000, what is the solution ?

Sorry for asking again, but does "Fix Released" mean that there already exists a solution?

Hi,

I've been in contact with the developer / maintainer of the gspca driver used by the Microsoft VX-1000.

We have been exchanging emails for a while, he has been extremely helpful and has released a fixed version of the driver which can be found at: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/

To my knowledge and from the information provided to me by Jean-Francois Moine this driver is what is included in the kernel and due to a bug the camera isn't being initialised correctly.

To solve this problem:

1. Download the latest release of the driver from the above address (its the bz2 or gz link at the top)
2. run make config and disable the SN9C102 driver (USB_SN9C102) - although this may not be necessary?
3. run make
4. if the drivers were built successfully start the os with the camera disconnected to prevent the old modules from loading (again this may not be neccessary)
5. run sudo make install
6. Connect the camera and test with an application such as cheese or vlc.

Upon connection the system messages log should show something similar:

Nov 22 18:25:38 philip-desk kernel: [44058.288046] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5

NB: for some video applications to function it may be necessary to execute them using the following in a terminal window
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

The above example loads skype after pre loading the v4l compatibility? library.

However for test purposed cheese definitely works without having to use the above method.

I haven't been using Linux for long but would like to try to help (especially because I have a Microsoft VX-1000 with wasn't but now is working) and do apologise if some of my terminology is wrong, please correct me on any mistakes or if there is better way to go about doing some of the things above.

Hope this helps,

Phil

Thank You very much Phil,

For me it was enough to just run make, sudo make install.
Chese detected camera without any additional steps, for skype i used:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

Now everything works fine

Hi,

That's great news Krzysztof, just wondering - is the sound working ok on you're webcam?

I'm having a few issues with mine, haven't decided whether its something I've done while trying to get it to work or something to do with alsa.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi,

I've just tested it with Cheese and it works,
I've double clicked on Volume control icon and chosen USB Camera (Alsa mixer).

But, it is possible that my sound setting are not 'default'. When i installed Ubuntu i had problems with sound in Skype, so i had found some commands to run in shell and executed them. (sorry for 'some' but I've started using linux couple days ago)

I've the same problem and when I want to fix it with the tip of Phil, I have :

Hi Alex,

It looks like you may be attempting to compile an older version of the gspca driver and the compiler can no longer find asm/semaphore.h.

You will almost certainly want to download the latest release of the gspca driver which should be available here:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.bz2

Thanks,

Phil

Where I had microphone but no video, after compiling new driver I now have video but no microphone. This is back to the situation I had under Hardy 8.04.

Does anyone have both video and microphone working on their VX1000 ?

Steve

I confirm that the last relase of the new driver work fine for me also with the new kernel relase 2.7.27-10-generic x86_64 version with Philips SPC 900NC.
The webcam work fine on cheese, ekiga, skype, but iì've an error on camorama.

Hey Steve,

I've had exactly the same problem, seems that the old driver supported the audio but not the video - now the new one supports the video and not the audio.

I've let the developer know.

We'll see what he says.

Phil

Anyone have an idea when the 2.7.27-10-generic kernel will be released? Is there a patch for the 2.7.27-9-generic kernel (i.e. the kernel currently shipping with 8.10)? Seems like a far-stretch to call this bug fixed when the currently shipping version of the kernel is still broken.

The -10 kernel is in -proposed. You can ask for that to be included and
installed via update-manager. The kernel in -proposed should move to
-updates relativly soon.

Thanks for the info Andy. If I get really antsy, I'll force the -10 install.

I am using the -10 kernel and you will still have to install the patch, I am surprised that this has not been patched by Kubuntu yet.

Thanks sjhstorm. Yesterday when I tried to download the patch above, the link was dead. Today it was alive, and now my webcam is working! I'm still using the -9 kernel. Big thanks to everyone!

Hi i've marked some dupes from this bug report.

Thanks

I have built test kernels against the latest -11 kernel containing a backport of the patches for this device. They can be found at the URL below:

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/webcams1/

Please test and report back. This fix is only for the 045e:00f7 device.

Hi I have loaded the three deb files into my machine it did create a /dev/video0 file but the out put is green static. as well now the mike stop working. This was working before the patch.

Please see attachment. I am trying to set up this box as a gift for Xmas, I know it is not your problem but I will truly appreciate it if you can help me.

Thanks.

As of 2.6.27-10 the bug is still present with my VX-3000. Yes, this bug affects the VX-3000 as well as the VX-1000 in case the devs weren't sure.

Following the instructions given by pgreenland above resolved the issue (fwiw, I did not have to disable the driver he mentioned during installation). I'm going to be sad if I have to keep recompiling the drivers for each new kernel though.

When will there be a kernel with the newer drivers for the VX-1000 and VX-3000 webcams already included?

Hi would it be possible for the reporters to test the linux-image packages created by Andy . Please note there are for 386 and 64bits arch.

Also is possible that you need to LD_PRELOAD libv4l and it's strongly recommended that you test with libv4l-0.5.7 available in proposed repos.

Thanks!

There was little response to my previous call for testing. I have therefore rebased these patches onto the latest -proposed kernel and build some updates test kernels. If those of you who are able could test the kernels at the URL below and report back that would be very helpful:

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/webcams1/

NOTE: these are updated images based on the new Inprepid kernels, as compared to the ones in my previous call for testing.

@Andy Whitcroft

I have installed your patched 32 bit kernel as above, (with libv4l-0.5.7) and have unsuccessfully tested on skype and cheese, see below output.

It's also worth noting as per my earlier post where I applied the patch to 2.6.27-10, which the camera worked but the built in microphone stopped working, the microphone doe's not work with your patched kernel.

Hope this helps

I am still seeing this on SN9C102 on Jaunty in Virtualbox. I would test the patches above in Intrepid, but I do not have the proper hardware.

I just wanted to say that I may have made a little bit of progress with this. I was playing around with loading/unloading different kernel modules to see if it affected anything. It appears to be kind of flaky, but I'm able to get it to detect my sensor sometimes. For this, I did:
sudo modprobe gspca_sonixj
sudo rmmod gspca_sonixj

This leaves gspca_main on, but not gspca_sonixj. Unfortunately, I don't think it was working with just loading gspca_main.
Here's a little more info from dmesg:

Previously, that command didn't bring up anything because gspca wasn't loading at all.

Unfortunately even though the sensor is detected, I can't get any apps to recognize it. Cheese and Ekiga both just hang like they're trying to use it, but can't. I also tried using the LD_PRELOAD stuff, but that didn't seem to help. So I'm thinking this is just a waste of time, but I thought I'd offer it up just in case anyone can make more sense of it than I can.

Also, I tried loading a few other modules, like gspca_sonixb, without much luck. If anyone has any other suggestions for things to try, I'll do it!

I finally got my webcam working this afternoon with a little help from the gspca dev. Basically, I just needed to install the latest version of gspca correctly from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.gz . I checked that my sensor was supported here: http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html . I also had to blacklist the module that was loading incorrectly (sn9c102). If anyone wants more info on any of that, I'd be happy to help you out if I can. I hope that these gspca fixes can be brought in to Jaunty!

hmm, and about testing the Andy's kernel anyone can share the result?

sadly is a bit old now.

At this time there's a -12 proposed kernel, it would be worthwhile test it too.

Thanks

it seemed that most of the make went off without a problem, but near the end this happened.

do I need to download, disable, or install something else first?

Fixed it by changing from the default to the following:
/lib/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw
There are now several warnings about some things not being string literals and not being arguments or something, but the make seems to be working, takes a long time.

well the make install command completed without an error, but when I restart the cam still doesnt work for any programs even with the preload command.

So close yet so far ... is there a fix yet to get both audio and video working? Thanks.

Regarding 045e:00f5 Microsoft Corp. LifeCam VX-3000:
Webcam still does not work in Ubuntu Jaunty with kernel 2.6.28-11.37 because it does not contain the newest gspca.

last time i remember that my camera was working, has been with gutsy or hardy.

Please fix this as soon as possible. If not in both Intrepid and Jaunty please make it work in at least Jaunty. It seems to me that different solutions, patches and so on already exist but for the non geek person this is a little bit complicated. Please fix this so that people with affected webcameras can have their camera working out of the box.

Somewhat sad that a kernel which should have had a better support for webcams simply makes ones camera unusable and the problem just keep existing month after month :/

The patch V4L/DVB (9711): gspca: Let gspca handle the webcams 045e:00f5 & 00f7 instead of sn9c102, probably address this issue.

I'm attaching the diffs.

I installed kernel v2.6.29.1 i386 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and that made the webcam available in wxCam, emesene and Cheese. Skype though shows just some green pixels. Camorama doesn't work either but that doesn't really matter.

I have a vx3000
I just upgraded to linux-image-2.6.30-020630rc5-generic_2.6.30-020630rc5_i386
from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Skype just shows random static pixels, camorama returned "unable to capture image", 'cheese' worked, and 'motion' worked. But the microphone didn't work for me in skype & audicity.

According to amazon the vx3000 is the 2nd best selling camera there...

http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1242574919/ref=sr_st?keywords=webcam&rs=172282&page=1&bbn=172282&rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A!493964%2Ck%3Awebcam&sort=pmrank

Hi i am using Jaunty 64 bit with 2.6.28-11-generic kernel.

My Webcam VX3000 doesn't work anymore in this Version, I am already tried all of you tipps but nothing works for me. The only Thing that I get is a green screen.

Are there any plans to fix this bug ?

cheers,
uter ;)

I can confirm the Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 works with linux-image-2.6.30-020630 downloaded from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Tested with Skype and Cheese, microphone not tested.

The last comment means that this cam should work in Karmic when Alpha 3 is available (we're still at Alpha 2)

@mizu12 can you check with a daily build livecd image?

Why wouldn't it work already with Alpha2 Karmic since this was fixed upstream in 2.6.29 but the fix just wasn't backported to Jaunty 2.6.28 kernel?

Not working with Karmic! (Yesterday daily-live). Tested with Cheese, Camorama, Motion.

Cheese and emesene latest 1.5-beta show a green big picture :/

I'm sitting on a box with vx-1000 and kernel 2.6.31, still green random dots in Skype.

Please fix this!

I've used Karmic Beta to play a little bit more with my VX-1000 and I've actually got a couple of images of myself :) Motion works and 1 of 10 (or something) images taken is actually showing my entire face and not just parts of it.
This is in Virtualbox 3.0.6 in a Jaunty host with 2.6.30.5 kernel.
Karmic has got latest gspca compiled and installed. However I had to compile it with "make -i all" since "firedtv-1394.o" had errors and compilation halted. I installed it since without it the camera wasn't working as it should and since a kernel downgrade to 2.6.30.5 didn't help, maybe a newer driver would help.

It looks like Cheese, Skype, vgrabbj and motion initialize the webcamera, the first frame is being captured and drawn but then something happens and the image shown is more or less corrupt. The result varies from 100% Isak to 100% green color.

Cheese, Skype and vgrabbj throw - as shown below - errors. I've tried all programs with the "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" switch and at least vgrabbj seems to work better with it.

I'm also having similar trouble getting the Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 working in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic x86_64. I can't get anything other than the green screen problem.

I've tried all of the preload options I could find, but none of them seem to work for 64-bit Karmic. Anyone know of a fix for Karmic 64-bit yet?

but at least cheese works now, good resolution. :)

This driver in Lucid generally works except for Skype.

Are you using the Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 in Ubuntu Lucid 32-bit or 64-bit? I was unable to get the microphone to work in Lucid 64-bit. Now that I'm testing Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, the microphone works on its own until the video capture is started, in which case the microphone no longer works for that session.

Has anyone successfully gotten the microphone to work while capturing video with this driver and a 64-bit platform? Hardy seems to be the last point that this web cam was properly working.

I've completely given up on linux and web cam's they don't work and when
they do thy don't work properly.

The patches enabling this camera appear to have hit mainline as of v2.6.29 which means all releases Karmic and later should support this camera, closing off the development task Fix Released.
